I Just Made A New Meme That Predicts The Future Of Hair Loss

I'm not a star trek fan, but I'm still geeky enough that I get the history of this joke

 

[Trouse]

Haha. I watched Star Trek Beyond and Bones is making a toast for Kirk's birthday and he says "to perfect eyesight, and full heads of hair."

I remember thinking to myself Jesus Christ, these guys are literally warping space-time and the poor bald schmucks on board the Enterprise are still dousing their heads in minoxidil lol.

Fantastic movie.

Though that line was eyebrow raising as I'm pretty sure that Chris Pine had a transplant

Who would have thought you would be able to correct to perfect eyesight before you would be able to get your hair back? Today you can get 20/20 vision in 15 minutes, but there's nothing that will regrow hair.

Not if you suffer from astigmatism.

 

[resu]

I suffered from astigmatism and it was also partially corrected by my PRK surgery.

I still have 0.25 astigmatism in one eye but I barely notice it.

With astigmatism the eye is shaped like an egg and the pupil isn't centered on the iris, reshaping the cornea with laser isn't enough in most cases. They have to make a cut and insert a lenses to correct the eye deformity.

 

[resu]

Yes, but even then, it's still possible to do something about it.

In the meantime, I cannot do much to improve the state of my hair right now.

They offer LASIK in the national health service so if you have blurred vision something can be done about it but they won't help with glasses or contacts, go figure.

 

[Stupidon]

On the other hand, with regards to the near future it would be nice that you get a section of the forum dedicated to your irrelevant new discussions and threads so this part can stick to "New Research, Studies, and Technologies" with relevant information.

"If you don't like it don't open it bro" is definitely a thing of the past.

i made a meme too..

Glasses and contacts shouldn't exist anymore.

But a lot of people don't even want to try I guess.

That's why if tomorrow one can pay 3000€ and cure one's baldness in one pass, you'll still have people running around bald or wearing wigs.

Human ungratefulness and stupidity.

Fred, Lasik is not permanent. So eventually, the eyes will regress but not as much as they were before surgery. So the person will need glasses again. And for some they want to go back to contacts. And when your reach around 40, you eyes will start changing again and you will get presbyopia. However, with a hair transplant,the hairs that are transplanted hairs are permanent if they are DHT resistant. So the transplant would likely be more long lasting than Lasik.
